I was invited to contribute this video for Buzzfeed to discuss some of the subtle occurrences of racism that I’ve experienced. The topic of race relations in America exhausts me and I think it’s unfortunate that the color of a person’s skin is such an issue. I will admit that I felt silly naming some of the examples of racism that I encountered in my life, but when I went back to read the comments on the video I found that many other people had experienced some of the same things. Conversations like these are necessary and I’m glad to have participated in a positive discourse on the subject.
